Various studies carried out over the years show that shockwave therapy can stimulate blood flow in the affected area, helping to reduce inflammation in the tissues.<\/h3>\n

The benefits of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) have been studied since the 1970s, particularly in the treatment of kidney stones, but it has also been of great interest in the field of physical and rehabilitation<\/a> medicine.<\/p>\n

This is a non-invasive therapy<\/strong> that uses the benefits of localised mechanical percussion at variable frequencies and intensities.<\/p>\n

In the past 10 years this technique has undergone significant technological advances, thanks to the computerisation of the devices, which allows for increasingly precise control in its use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Com Corpus has treated more than 2,000 patients with this technique since it began opened its doors in 2015.<\/p>\n

This technique is carried out by our specialists in physical and rehabilitation medicine<\/a> and sports medicine<\/a>, ensuring the highest level of precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
